In the world of the military, advanced technology is often used and usually the technology continues to evolve and continue to be refined over time. Just as happened in this war cars.
This car is likely to replace the current generation of war vehicles, Humvee. Uniquely, this car was built with a short time.
This powerful car named Fang, stands for Next-Generation Adaptable Fast Ground Combat Vehicle. Created by Local Motors car specifically for a successor generation of war now, the Humvee.
Local Motors competition since winning the time-based military vehicles XC2V convened by DARPA in May, they managed to prove the seriousness of the crew in working on this project.
As a result, the prototype car was completed faster than the deadline given for 14 weeks. It is time really short. In the vehicle industry generally takes 5 times longer to build a new vehicle from design to become a vehicle intact.

This vehicle lived in the three realms, can be as speedboats, submarines, as well as aircraft.
Dolphin-shaped vehicle was named Innespace Seabreacher.
Vehicles over 5 meters is working with 1500 cc engine, which is equivalent to the power of 260 horsepower. The cockpit is waterproof so it can dive.
When functioning as a speedboat, he can go with a speed of 80 km / h on the surface of the water, and while diving in the water, its speed to 40 km / hour. In the air, he can fly to a height of 5.4 meters.
Machine used was a single jet engine, which controls movement and steering. Controls are on two foot pedals that are in the cockpit. With that control, water flow can be directed to the right or left alternately.
If control is directed downwards, then the tail will go up, and nose 'dolphin' is down and began to dive. When diving, fin back to draw air from the surface water and oxygen supply to the engine.
In the fin to the left there is a manual control to adjust the maneuver. If the fins are tilted forward, the ship will go deeper into the water.
In the cockpit there are two seats that are equipped with GPS, the iPod, and speakers, LCD screen on the front showing the view from a camera mounted on its back fin, so it serves as a digital periscopes.
Seabreacher seabreacher.com sold at a price of Rp695 million.

Mantis shrimp species (Odontodactylus scyllarus) turned out to not only have an impressive display, but also gifted with the ability of 'catch' the light is polarized on which to base the development of 3D technology.
"Light can indeed be seen humans, but the vibration of an electric wave can not be seen. Mantis shrimp is able to see polarized light and vibration of the electric field from a variety of colors," said Jen Yi-jun, Electro-Optical professor of National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei.
Excess was then inspired him to develop new materials with structures similar to the mantis shrimp eye lens. Together Akhlesh Lakhtakia from Pennsylvania State University, Jen developed a material called waveplate.
According to Jen, the material can be used to filter light with a wider spectrum of optical devices on a DVD player available today. With this innovation, movie fans will be able to watch 3D movies with better quality.
Explain in more detail, Jen says, "We want to change the polarization without affecting the amount of light absorbed. We want a good transmittance and polarization occurs with a frequency independent. In other words, we do not want to change the color."
Based on the report Taiwantoday.tw site, waveplate which was entering a patented process developed in Taiwan. In the future, this technology can also be used to develop the 3D glasses so that users can get a better visual experience.

Later, while enjoying the KLM plane trip Paris-Amsterdam route, you will realize that fuel your plane was traveling from the frying oil. Indeed, this use of cooking oil, must go through trials in order to meet the technical requirements.
However, whatever the reason, the Dutch airline was chasing the recommendations of State Agency for Renewable Windmills it.
The reason, as a member of the European Union (EU), the Netherlands joined suppress reduction of carbon emissions by 3 percent in 2012. Biokerosin flight it will be done in September.
Indeed, KLM has started using bio-fuels since 2009. At that time, the airline is test-flight carrying 40 people, including ministers of the Dutch economy.
90-minute flight was mostly using traditional aviation fuels. However, one of four engines using bio-fuels as much as 50 percent.
The plan, fuel from the used cooking oil will be used to serve 200 flights on the route above. KLM to take the supply of fuel from used cooking oil from hotels, restaurants, and the factory before being shipped to the U.S. for refined.
Camiel Eurlings managing director of KLM has said it intends to go further. "This is a challenge to be able to use renewable energy as a whole. We need to move forward together to gain access to renewable fuels forever," he said.
